In 1999 the AuPS Council identified a number of core areas of Special
Interest and recruited a number of people around Australia to act
as Co-ordinators. The role of these Special Interest Themes is envisaged
to foster greater communication between researchers and educators
within Australia.
The list of Special Interest Themes below is by no means exhaustive.
Anyone wishing to establish a Special Interest Theme should
contact the overall SIT coordinator, Matt Watt
matthew.watt@med.monash.edu.au.
In particular, Functional
Genomics is an area that AuPS can act as a pivotal forum for the
presentation and discussion of these essentially integrative physiological
experiments.
Individual theme co-ordinators will be expected to:
- Propose innovative sessions, workshops or symposia for the AuPS
annual meeting.
- Create and lead the discussion of interesting posters sessions
at AuPS meetings
- Establish and encourage communications between like-thinking
scientists and educators
- Encourage members of Special Interest Themes to attend the
AuPS meeting
- Keep Council informed of any public or government developments
in their fields of interest.
